This group was the brain child of
one of my boring rainy afternoons, missing my friends because they all
go to public school and I can't hang out with them very much during the
week. I thought, "It would be so great if we had something set up
like in California, where I could spend the day with other homeschoolers
instead of doing my work by myself."

After moping like this for a while,
I decided to channel my boredom into something creative. I thought, "So
what if the school system doesn't offer us assistance? We don't need them!
We can make it on our own!!"

I envision a support network that
becomes so successful and so helpful that parents remove their kids from
public school to participate. So many parents say, "I want so badly
to homeschool my kids, but I don't have the time/energy/experience/etc.etc.etc."
So hopefully this would help out in those situations too. And, as homeschooling
becomes more popular, the school system would have no choice but to recognize
our efforts and be more supportive.
